Home Not Home
AnySquared offers Home Not Home, an examination of the complicated dichotomies of the idea of home.
Home Not Home will investigate various themes, including, but not limited to: belonging/not belonging, freedom/captivity, safety/danger, comfort/discomfort, inclusive/exclusive, building/destroying, and place/displacement. Home Not Home aims to demonstrate that while the concept of home is universal, the experience is very personal.
Home Not Home Premiere Exhibition
